Perfect for the short-term traveler who insists on value and doesn't want to wade through or carry a full-size guidebook, Frommer's Portable Portland gives you candid reviews of the best hotels, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, as well as the author's picks for the best travel experiences, strolling the grounds at the Japanese Garden; beer sampling at Brewpubs; kayaking around Ross Island; mountain biking the Leif Ericson Trail; hanging out at Powell's bookstore; people-watching at Pioneer Courthouse Square; spending an afternoon at the Portland Saturday Market; and more. Frommer's Portable Guides offer all the detailed information and insider advice of a Frommer's Complete Guide—but in a concise, pocket-sized format.
